Juneteenth commemorates the total abolition of slavery in the U.S. that took place in Galveston Bay, Texas, on June 19, 1865 when the last group of enslaved African Americans were notified of their freedom by Union soldiers, two years after President Lincoln signed The Emancipation Proclamation.
Apparently not all politicians are aware of that event. Does Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Florida and too many others have television, newspapers or the internet?
Maybe someone can let them in on the news, slavery has been abolished…sort of.
